PRESERVATION OF TRACES & EVIDENCE

Preservation of Traces and Evidence - PTI

FireLab Pyrénées delivers awareness training sessions in the Preservation of Traces and Evidence (PTI). When a fire raises suspicion of a Deliberate Origin, every First Responder — Fire Investigator from the fire service, Gendarme or Police Officer — must know how to secure the scene without compromising the elements relevant to the "Post-Fire" Investigation. Delayed Overhaul, Documented Overhaul: preserving what the fire did not destroy.

These sessions are intended for the fire and rescue services (SDIS), the National Police, the National Gendarmerie, as well as all experts and professionals who attend "Explosion & Fire" losses without being specialists in "Post-Fire" Investigation.
